政府信息公开中隐私概念的“阴影地带”

The Penumbra of Privacy in Government Information Disclosure

隐私概念的不明和边界的模糊给执法和司法带来了困难,人们错误地将个人信息等同于隐私,导致在类似的信息公开案件中出现了相异的判决结果,损害了法制的统一和政府、司法的公信力。有必要对信息公开语境下的隐私概念进行剖析,找出其核心意义与"阴影地带"。处于"阴影地带"的特定事实是否能涵摄于隐私概念之下,取决于对社会的隐私观、立法目的及相冲突利益的综合考量。隐私权与知情权应该是对立统一的,要维持这种平衡,应以最大限度公开为原则,对隐私概念采取合乎意义的限缩解释。

The law enforcement and judgement are in difficulty for the ambiguity of privacy. We mistake the personal information for privacy that leads to the opposite iudgment in the cases of information disclosure.It damages the unity of legal system and the accountability of government and court.It is necessary to analyse the privacy in government information disclosure, and find the core and penumbra.Whether the concept of privacy is subsumption of a particular fact need due consideration such as consciousness of privacy, legislative intent and the conflicting interest of both sides.Privacy and the right to know are the unity of opposites.To maintain the balance, the concept of privacy should be narrowly construed under the principle of maximum open.
